Camps are for children ages 5-10 years old. Children spend a small part of the day together in a big group, and most of the day is spent divided into two groups – a group of younger children, and a group of older children. This allows us to tailor activities in a way that is age appropriate.

Our camps are an immersive experience centered mostly around dance, music, art and yoga. Each day, children spend approximately 2 hours dancing (spread out through the day). The rest of the day is spent doing art, yoga, and of course playing and eating!

A morning snack is provided to all children at no additional cost. A hot lunch is offered for an additional fee. Children can also bring lunch from home (these lunches cannot be heated on site before serving).

An afternoon snack is provided for children enrolled in extended care, at no additional cost.

Food Allergies: Snacks are nut and egg free. However, we cannot guarantee a food allergen-free environment as children are allowed to bring snacks and lunch from home. We have several safety checks in place to ensure children with allergies are kept safe. Our team is trained to administer emergency medication (e.g. EpiPen). We work with each child’s parents to understand reactions, severity, and other details about a child’s allergy before the camp so we are fully prepared to ensure the safety of each child. Please contact us if you would like additional details about how we handle food allergies.

Extended care is offered from 3pm-6pm on Monday-Thursday, and 3pm-4pm on Friday. Late pick up is charged at $5/minute.

We have a teacher from an elementary school in the Fremont Unified School District who leads our Extended Care Program. We have plenty of group and individual activities for the children! This is a screen-free Extended Care Program. We also include a visit to the park across the street each day. When children are at the park, they wear a yellow safety vest so we can identify them quickly and easily, and we have a number of other safety checks in place while we are offsite.

Food Allergies: We have a tightly controlled and communicated process about children with food allergies

Extended Care: The program is run by a Fremont Unified School District elementary school teacher who brings a high level of quality care to our camps! Also, children wear yellow safety vests so we can identify them easily and efficiently when we are offsite at a daily visit to the park across the street

The on-site camp team consists of Mona Sampath Khan and Amrita Shastri, as well as an Assistant Camp Manager, a group of seasoned dance instructors and a team of high school camp counselors. Our instructors have extensive experience teaching children in dance class and dance camps settings. With over a decade of summer camp experience, the team has handled sold-out camps with over fifty kids, dancing with them throughout the week and gearing them up for the end-of-week presentation – all while making sure the kids have the time of their lives in a fun, supportive and safe environment.

We also collaborate with renowned vocal coaches and established Bay Area choreographers like Anna Gonzalez and Lauren Benjamin, who specialize in various dance genres. Art and yoga are conducted by teachers with expertise in these areas of learning and teaching. These incredible teachers bring a whole new dimension to the camps and lend their broad range of expertise to making the dance camps cutting-edge and truly unforgettable.

My daughter and I have been MKC students for the past couple of years. The quality we have seen with the classes and shows continues with the summer camps also. I am very pleased to see the dedication on part of the staff and teachers to make the whole camp experience a lot of fun as well as a great learning experience for kids.
